Photographer's work showcases city Pride event

Martin Parr will have his work featured in a Bristol Museum and Art Gallery exhibition

A photographer has teamed up with a city's Pride organisers and a museum to showcase the annual festival.

Martin Parr, a Bristol-based documentary photographer, will be displaying his colourful photographs from the parade in Bristol Museum and Art Gallery until 23 November.

The exhibition free exhibition features fly-on-the-wall style photos of people who both celebrate and protest at Bristol Pride.

Mr Parr said: "It is fantastic how Pride marches are now enjoyed by so many people. This would not have been the case when these marches started."

Mr Parr said the photos captured people "from all walks of life", celebrating and protesting

Daryn Carter MBE, pride director, said: "Having these photos showcased in Bristol Museum is also very special as throughout history, LGBTQ+ visibility often goes undocumented and forgotten."

Bristol Pride has grown over the years and now hosts a range of events which build up to the Parade March through the city centre, and Pride Day festival on The Downs.

Martin Parr, added: "I have photographed more than four Prides and it is always one of the best days for shooting in the Bristol calendar."
